Juliet, Uta Hagen and Stella Adler - #squadgoals

To portray Juliet in my scene, I would like to try Uta Hagen’s method of acting. Juliet faces a lot of tough emotional changes in this scene, and Uta Hagen emphasized focusing on those moments and analyzing them. One of the things I struggle with in acting is staying in the moment - I often have trouble forgetting the audience is there. When Julia presented Uta Hagen, she said her method can allow the actor to do that. Perhaps I could improve that ability. I am also interested in Stella Adler’s approach of using real world experiences to shape your acting. This is different from Stanislavsky, which encourages instinct - I don't see that working in this scene, because it's too short and the emotion comes from before this scene. I need to relate it to my life to successfully portray the strong emotions Juliet is feeling.
